Our Council

The Council, made up of highly-talented volunteers, meets the fourth Thursday of every month, except for November and December. There is no meeting held in November and the December meeting is held on the second Thursday of the month.  Meetings are generally held in the office meeting area, unless otherwise announced, beginning at 9:30 a.m, and are open to the public.  There is a featured program and speaker at selected meetings during the year.
